The Dread Shell is a Hardmode accessory exclusive to Eternity Mode. It has 20% chance to be dropped by Dreadnautilus. It grants the player immunity to knockback and the Anticoagulation debuff when equipped, and provides 2 defense.
While equipped, pressing the ⚷ Open / Activate button will cause the character to brace for the next attack. While bracing and for 1 second after bracing, the player's defense is reduced by 40 and their damage reduction is reduced by 30%. When timed correctly in a 10 frame window, just before taking a hit, the enemy's attack will be parried. Parrying an enemy's attack will block up to 200 damage from the attack, cause Blood Spikes to erupt around the player, each dealing a base damage of 1000 which scales with the highest class damage boost, and inflicting Anticoagulation for 6 seconds. The parry has a 6 second cooldown. Enemies inflicted with Anticoagulation will emit blood shots that home in on the player. Touching the player gives the Blood Drinker buff for 6 seconds, which increases damage by 30%.
